Comment #23 on issue 2990 by [email protected]: \RemoveEmptyStaves in
StaffGroup context crashes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2990
Workaround: use the 'remove-empty property instead of the pre-packaged
\RemoveEmptyStaves, and ask all staves to listen to the 'remove-empty
property:
\new StaffGroup \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-empty = ##t }
<<
\new Staff { b1 \break R1 \break b1}
\new Staff \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-empty = ##f } {
b1 \break b1 \break R1 } >>
%% This makes all types of staff-like lines of music honor the remove-empty
setting
\layout {
\context { \Staff
\remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" }
\context { \Dynamics
\remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" }
\context { \NoteNames
\remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" }
\context { \RhythmicStaff
\remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" }
}
(The patches offered only stop the crash, you still need the workaround to
make remove-empty take effect on a group of staves.)
